BR-208 October 2003 BR-208 October 2003 European Commission Report on the Consultation Process Prepared by the EC/ESA Joint Task Force Secretariat 1 Prepared by: ESA Policy Coordination Department on behalf of the EC/ESA Joint Task Force Secretariat Published by: ESA Publications Division ESTEC, PO Box 299 220 AG Noordwijk The Netherlands Editor: Bruce Battrick Design & Layout: Carel Haakman Copyright: © ESA 2003 European Space Agency ISSN: 0250-1589 ISBN: 92-9092-659-7 Printed in the Netherlands Price: 10 Euros 2 Contents Foreword 4 Introduction 5 The Consultation Process 7 Inaugural Conference 9 The Industrial View 10 The View of the Scientific Community 11 The Institutional View 12 The View of the Operators and Service Providers 13 The International Context 15 Closing Conference 16 Post Workshop Activities 19 Contributors to the Consultation Process 21 3 Foreword Dear Reader, The consultation on the development of the future European Space Policy last spring was a unique opportunity for anyone interested in space to make a contribution. The number of those who did and the quality of their replies were most encouraging. In total, over a thousand representatives of governments, international organisations, companies, European institutions and universities – and individual citizens – have actively taken part in shaping Europe’s future in space. The Green Paper on European Space Policy was drawn up by the European Commission in cooperation with the European Space Agency. By raising a number of key questions, it aimed to launch a Europe-wide debate on questions of space policy. The consultation process was initiated and managed by the European Commission/ESA Joint Task Force. The series of targeted workshops organised across Europe, the discussion forum set up for European citizens on the internet and extensive written input have contributed directly to an interesting evaluation of European expectations in the space sector. This report on the main outcomes from the consultation and the reports by the individual rapporteurs on the consultation workshops together make up a useful database for the future; it will remain a reference not only for the formulation of an action plan for the enlarged European Space Policy, but also for the planning of the space programmes to be carried out under that Policy. We hope and firmly believe that the White Paper on the European Space Policy will mark an even greater step forward for Europe in space.

The main highlights of these discussions were: – For the institutional framework in which space activities could be placed, Vice-president Dehaene of the Presidium of the European Convention presented the possibility of space being a competence in the future Treaty for the European Union. – Notwithstanding the interest in satellite applications programmes, the basic role of space science was strongly underlined, as a driver for technological innovation and the initiation of new applications.

KONKOLY THEGE MIKLÓS ÚT 1121 BUDAPEST, HUNGARY PROGRESS REPORT ON RESEARCH ACTIVITIES IN 2012 1 CENTRE FOR ENERGY RESEARCH PROGRESS REPORT 2012 Dear Reader, Welcome to the first Progress Report of the Centre for Energy Research, Hungarian Academy of Sciences. From January 1, 2012, the Institute of Isotopes joined the KFKI Atomic Energy Research Institute in the framework of a major reorganisation of the institute network of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. The merging of the two institutes was carried out without substantial difficulties, however, it was a good argument to reconsider their strategies. As far as nuclear energy R&D&I is concerned, the strategy has remained unchanged. It consists of three basic elements, namely to provide the scientific background for the extended safe operation of the Paks NPP units, to participate in the preparation of constructing new nuclear units in Hungary, and to contribute to the international efforts related to the closure of the fuel cycle and the development of the new generation of power reactors. Concentrating human resources and infrastructures to these challenges is the most important duty of the management. Hopefully, the proposed Hungarian national nuclear R&D program will start rather soon and it will decisively influence the activities of the research centre. The establishing of a strong nuclear cooperation among the nuclear research centres of the Visegrád 4 countries aiming at the construction of a Generation 4 reactor also requires a strong governmental support.
